Babymoon in Vegas Part Deux

Alright, so I didn't post a follow up last night as promised, but I have a good excuse. I was busy cleaning puke:( Not my puke, boy puke and baby boy puke:(  Aren't you glad you asked? So since there is no puke to clean tonight I will pick up where I left off, which was Wednesday! After a breakfast of champions (Starbucks) we hopped on a bus to "downtown" which is where all the old casinos are.
We saw a film crew at this intersection and found out that they were filming a movie with Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba. We didn't see them though.
Here's the tried and true Vegas cowboy.
We played some blackjack and John found his slot machine!
Too bad it didn't pay out:( I took this one for Mina.
We didn't get to see the fancy "Fremont street" light show but it was fun to see all the old school casinos:) After running amuck for awhile we hopped on a bus to New York:)
 And John enjoyed a "yard" O' margarita!
After hanging out at the pool for *ahem* a few hours, we took a tram to the Rio where we visited the famous Vodoo lounge.
The view was amazing!
Then we were off to see Penn and Teller! The show was awesome (again, no photography allowed) and we got meet them afterwards!
Wednesday was great! Thursday was awesome too! We headed to the Bellagio to check out the conservatory.
Those arches are water! It was so pretty:)
Mina would love this:)
This piece of art was made of flowers! So cool.
We wandered around for awhile and I came across this.
Yes, that is a chocolate, a REAL chocolate fountain! Three kinds of it. I must have one of these:)  Then we had an amazing dinner at Prime steakhouse at Bellagio.
We could see the fountain from our table!:) But we went to get a closer look after dinner.
and we had a good view of Paris:)
Then we had fun celebrating our last night in Vegas
3rd row center seats for Blue Man Group! The ponchos were more of a "just in case" thing because we didn't get any paint thrown on us. Bummer;) It was a great show though!
 And before you leave Vegas you can't forget about these guys!
Well that about does it; wraps 'er all up. Thank you honey for the wonderful memories! I'm so lucky I got to go with my best friend. It was fun because you were there:) I love you!

Vegas Baby!!

Well, here's the low down on our babymoon in Vegas:) First things first! Right after we arrived we headed off to the iconic "Peppermill":) Here we are at the fireside lounge (Sinatra used to sit in this very spot!) -well, maybe:)
We caught the Treasure Island "siren" show.
Rise and shine! Here's the view from our room at the Mirage!
Here's the pretty atrium inside that glass dome,
 We headed off to see the sights.
John blue himself!
And I finally got to see Venice;)
and the fountain outside of Cesars Palace.
Then we went inside to see the "Atlantis" show
Oooooo.
Then we hopped in a cab and went on a pilgrimage of sorts for John...



Frankie's Tiki Bar!
John was in heaven:)
I gotta admit, it was a really cool place:)

That night we ate at Tao *apparently Tao is translated as "overpriced PF Changs"*
Thanks for taking this flattering picture of me fondling myself with a doofus grin on my face, honey:) And I hadn't even been drinking.
We wandered through the Palazzo on our way to T.I. to see the Cirque du Soleil show "Mystere"!
They don't let you take any pictures in the theater so I don't have any of the show but it was AMAZING!! LOVE their shows! And we got to see the volcano erupt on our way home:)

Well that's the first day, anyways.  You'll have to tune in tomorrow to see what happens next!
